COMBINATION-DOLL.

To all wkohtit may concern! 'Be it known that we, JOSEPH GARAMI and MAX FOD R, citizens of Hungary, andr'esidents, respectively, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, and New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combination-Dolls, of which the following is a specification.-

This invention relates to dolls, the invenprovements in dolls of the combination type, having cooperating movable elements.

A main object of the inventionis the provision of a doll having movable arm elements, movable eye elements, a movable chin element, and having associated mechanismor the doll body are moved in respect to each other, the eye elements and the chin element will be caused to move or oscillate automatically. j

Another object of the invention is the provision of a rocking doll embodying the fore oin elements arran ed in such manner that when the doll is rocked, the chin ele mentwill be oscillated to produce the effect ofan open and closed mouth, and theeye elements will be oscillated to' produce the effect of open and closed eyes. t

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention resides in thedeta'ils of construction and in the arrangementand combination of parts hereinafter described, defined inthe claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this specification; and in which Figure 1 is a View inside-elevation of a rocking doll made in accordance with our cinvention, parts'be1ng broken away and .partsbeingshown in section.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec, 23 1919, Application fi1ed December 2,,1918. I SerialNo 264,994. I i I Fig. 5 is'a viewin front elevation of the 2 head. 7

In the embodiment of the invention herein presented, the doll is cast in two longitudinal shell-like halves or sections 10 and 11 respectively, the former denoting the front half of the structure and the latterthe rear half thereof. With each half or. section is also cast a part of the base 12, which in form is like thesegment of a cylinder, al-

though its rocking surface 13 should, -obvi- ..Fig. 1. The sections are united by gluing or otherwise securing them together; and

they are preferably cast or formed from a composition of matter which, while comparatively light, is substantially unbreakable under ordinary use. I

j The head portion 15 of the front section 10 is preferably cast in the specific form shown in Fig. 2, and in the shoulder regions with the rearwardly projecting lugs 16.

Mounted for rotation in these lugs is a shaft 17, the extremitiesof which extend exteriorly of the lugs and to which are rigidly.

secured the arm elements 18 and 19. These arms are preferably cast as solid elements{ and in each hand is cast or secured a weight as 20, so that when the doll structure is rocked u-pon itscurved basefthe arm elements', continuing to fall in a vertical direction, will impel the turning ofthe shaft 17. 7

Between the shoulder lugs16, a plate 21 is secured, midway its length, upon the shaft 17 so as to turn therewith, and the eXtremi-- tiesthereof are bent upwardly upon themselves to provide the contacts 22 and 23.

The head portion 15 is cast on each side of .the nose.24' with the usual eye sockets 25; 'and below the nose with an upper lip protuberance 26, below which .is a chin opening 27. Connecting the cheek walls behind this chin opening 27 is a fixed shaft 28. Eccentrically mounted on this shaft for turnin movement is an actuating plate,29, which is stamped or otherwise formed out of a piece of thin sheet metal so as to have an inclined portion connecting the horizontal por tions 31 and 32. The horizontal portion 32 at its outer end is formed with offset lugs as 33, so that when the said portion 32 is bent underneath upon itself as at 34, the lugs 33 may be turned upwardly and folded or crimped upon the said portion 32 opening 27, is held in such close proximity tothe upper lip 26 that the mouth of the doll will appear as approximately closed.

7 As a means of positively holding the parts in these relative positions, a weight 37 is securedupon the free end of the horizontal plate 31.

Formed with the inclined plate 30 15 a lug 38 providing an eye 39, in which is engaged a U-shaped link 40, whose free limb extremities 4:1 and 42 are pivotally engaged with the rearwardly projecting outer lugs 43 of the eye shells at and 45, respectively.

' Extending through the outer lugs l3 as well as through the inner lugs l6 of said eye snells, is a shaft a7, whereby the eye shells are mounted for oscillating movement. Said shaft 47 is supported in a bridge 48, secured in such position on the inner side of the head, immediately behind the nose 24, that the said eye shells at and I5 are operatively maintained in the sockets 25.

This whole arrangement is such that when the chin piece 35 is maintained in the posit on Just descrlbed, wherein the lips are in such close proximity as to produce the effect of an approximately closed mouth, the iris regions 4E9 will be visualized centrally through the eye-sockets 25,-as best seen 1n W Fig. 5.

' plished through the engagement of the con Vhen the doll rocks forwardly, the 'contact 22 engages the forward end of the horizontal portion 31, tilting the actuating plate 29 upon its axis so as to swing the yaw 35 downwardly opening the mouth. Simultaneously with this movement, the eye-shells are tilted downwardly seas to give the appearance of closed eyes. IVhenthe struc ,ture rocks rearwardly a shortdistancebeyond vertical "position, the mouth is-opened and the eyes closed in a similar manner, the operatlon this time, however, bemg accom tact 23 with the rear end of the horizontal plate 31. Thus, each time'the doll rocks a short distance from vertical position either forwardly or rearwardly, the chin element and the eye elements will be oscillated simultaneously. By moving either one of the arms 18- or 19, either forwardly or rearwardly, the same results are also obtained in an obvious manner.

It will be understood that while we have shown the preferred form of our invention, we do not want to be limited to its precise mechanical or other details, and may resort to such alterations and'modifications as come within the scope of the claims hereunto annexed. v

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is 1. In a doll, the combination with the body thereof, of eye elements adapted to be oscillated, a chin element adapted to be oscillated, a connection for oscillating the eye elements from the chin element, connected arm elements movable togetherin respect to the body, and means whereby either move ment of the arms with respect to the body or movement of the body with respect to the arms will effect the oscillation of said chin element. I

2. In combination with a doll of the kind having oscillatable eye elements and movable arm elements, a shaft movable with the armelements, a plate movablexwith said shaft and provided with contact extremities, a chin element supported for movement to give the effect of an open or closed mouth, a link forming a connect on between said chin element and the said eye elements, and means engageable with said contact extremities upon the movement of the arms whereby to effect simultaneously the oscillation of I said chin element and said eye elements.

In a doll having a body including a rocking base, pivoted eye elements adapted to oscillate to give the effect of open or closed eyes, a pivoted chin element adapted to oscillate to give the effect of open or closed mouth, and means rendered operative through the rocking of the body upon its base whereby simultaneously to produce the oscillation of said eye elements and said chin element. 7

4.. In a doll having a body including a rockingbase, eye elements pivoted for oscillation to give the effect of open or closed eyes, ,a chin element pivoted for oscillation to give the effect of an openor closed-mouth, arm elements having movement in respect to the body, and means controlled by the arm elements and rendered effective on the rocking of the body upon its base whereby to produce the simultaneous oscillation of said eye elements and said chin element.

5. In a doll, the combination with movable eye elements and a movable chin element, of arms having movement'independent of the movement of the body of the doll, means whereby movement of the chin element is communicated to the eye elements, a connection betweenand movable with the arms, a contact plate movable Withsaid connectlon,

and means cairied by the chin element in position to be impinged by said contactplate whereby on the movement of arms in .re-

spect to the body or on the movement of the body in respect to the arms, the said eye elements and said chin element will be caused to oscillate simultaneously.
